Chocolate and Treats Are Good For Some Athletes

I have to make sure that people understand how this works because I always get the same argument. I am aware that the reason high carb and high sugar treats are good for athletes because they tend to burn off calories faster than most people. It gives them the jolt of energy that they will burn off in order to participate in their athletic endeavorer. A treat to boost the average person is OK too, but only in moderation and only when you plan to be active. So the lesson is simple, eat treats, eat other thing, and be active. That way we all win.
